Considerable evidences highlight the occurrence of increasing widespread tree mortality as
a result of global climate change-associated droughts. However, knowledge about the …

Poplar (Populus spp.) is a high-value crop for wood and biomass production and a model
organism for tree physiology and genomics. The early release, in 2006, of the complete …

Climate warming will increase the drought exposure of many forests world‐wide. It is not
well understood how trees adapt their hydraulic architecture to a long‐term decrease in …

Species distribution is strongly driven by local and global gradients in water availability but
the underlying mechanisms are not clear. Vulnerability to xylem embolism (P50) is a key trait …

Understanding which species are able to recover from drought, under what conditions, and
the mechanistic processes involved, will facilitate predictions of plant mortality in response to …

Understanding how different plants prioritize carbon gain and drought vulnerability under a
variable water supply is important for predicting which trees will maximize woody biomass …

The water transport pipeline in herbs is assumed to be more vulnerable to drought than in
trees due to the formation of frequent embolisms (gas bubbles), which could be removed by …

Trees are long‐lived organisms that continuously adapt to their environments, a process in
which epigenetic mechanisms are likely to play a key role. Via downregulation of the …

In angiosperms, many studies have described the inter-specific variability of hydraulic-
related traits and little is known at the intra-specific level. This information is however …

As droughts become more frequent and more severe under anthropogenic climate change,
water stress due to diminished subsurface supplies may threaten the health and function of …
